Drunken Noodles Pad Kee Mao
your drunken noodle recipe as promised!!!
This is what I expect when I text Send Noodzzs!
PAD KEE MAO
1 lb. dried rice noodles
2 Tbsp. Canola oil
3-4 ea. garlic minced
2-4 ea. Birds eye chilis (Based on how spicy you like)
1/2 ea yellow onion
3/4 lb. chicken breast or thighs (sliced thin)
2 tsp. fish sauce
3 ea green onions
1 cup Thai Basil
OPTIONAL: CHINESE BROCCOLI, TOMATO, CHINESE CHIVES
3 tbsp. Oyster Sauce
2 Tbsp. Light Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Dark Soy Sauce
2 tsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Water
Prepare the noodles according to their directions. Typically, this includes boiling water and pouring it over the noodles for a few minutes till they are soft and tender, draining and adding to the saucepan when needed..
In a wok or large pan, heat the oil. Once it begins to smoke, add the garlic, chili, and onion, let cook briefly, do not breathe this in, it will cause you to cough.
Add chicken and fish sauce, and let it cook for about 2 minutes.
Add the green onions, noodles, and sauce components. Let it reduce till it coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from the heat and add in the basil and toss, and serve.
Recipe Notes:
1. Wide rice noodles – use wide ones and prepare per packet. I use ones labelled as “Pad Thai” rice noodles. Fine to use thinner ones if you can’t find wide ones.
2. Chili – 2 birds eye or Thai chilies give this a nice buzz of spice but won’t blow your head off! Feel free to adjust to your taste. Can also use a dollop of chili paste instead – add it with the chicken.
3. Thai Basil – tastes like regular basil with a slight aniseed flavor. Traditionally made with Thai Holy Basil, which tastes like regular basil but most restaurants outside Thailand use regular Thai Basil (easier to find, sold at Harris Farms and some Woolies, Coles in Australia).
Substitute with regular basil (it tastes like Drunken Noodles in Thailand!)
4. Soy Sauce – both light and dark soy sauce can be substituted with all-purpose soy sauce (ie, soy sauce that is just labeled “soy sauce” without “dark” or “light” or “sweet” in front of it).
Can also substitute the dark soy with more light soy.
DO NOT use all dark soy sauce – it will be far too strong.
